I am setting up my home office and connect to $WORK via a VPN through the Dell Sonicwall Netextender. I would like to setup my home printer as a printer on the VPN network. Would it be possible to have the printer on my Windows 7 machine be available for my UNIX (SCO OpenServer) servers to print to. Our WAN guys say my account is setup that it should accept print jobs to the IP address I am assigned when I log into the VPN.
My issue is setting up the Windows 7 machine so the printer will be able to see the requests. I installed the Unix Print services for Windows on my Windows machine and can see the LPR port available but when I go to set it up it asks for the ip address of the server. I am unsure if I put the IP of my WIndows machine or the IP I get when I connect to the VPN. On the flip side I am wondering if I just try to use my Raspberry Pi as a print server connecting to my $WORK network with the VPN. Replies can be off lis if wanted. TIA -- John J. Boris, Sr.
